The Roomba flood we expect hasn’t happened yet, but there’s something in the air.

UPDATE: Jul. 2, 2024, 1:00 p.m. EDT This list has been updated with the few Roomba deals live at Amazon in the first week of July. It will be updated accordingly as Amazon inevitably releases more Roomba deals leading up to Prime Day.
The tea that is the failed acquisition of iRobot by Amazon must not have been too scalding, because Amazon still has a soft spot for Roomba deals.
On and off throughout the year, Amazon drops prices on top Roombas (among other competitive robot vacuums) by up to 50%, whether that’s during a shopping holiday like Black Friday or during a random week.
Prime Day certainly isn’t random, though Amazon is quiet on the Roomba front so far this Prime season after dropping a ton of Roomba prices in June. But if they’re willing to do that just for the sake of it, we’re likely in for a flood of Prime Day Roomba deals ahead of actual Prime Day (July 16 and 17). The iRobot fleet will likely severely outshine the measly deal or two on Shark robot vacuums.
Specifically, our eyes will be peeled for potential 50% off discounts to match the 50% slash we’ve been seeing on the Roomba j7, and hopefully a drop below $900 for the Roomba Combo j9+. As soon as any of those drop, we’ll refresh this list. While a handful of mediocre Roomba deals are live now, we’ll only be highlighting the ones worth your time.
Why we like it
It’s not the 50% price cut we’ve seen on and off for the past few months, so hold tight. But on the off chance that you absolutely need this Roomba in your life immediately, the current 37% discount on the Roomba j7 is still pretty good, considering its smarts.
Mashable Deals
Even without mopping or self-emptying capabilities, the Roomba j7 is still one of the most solid Roombas — and robot vacuums in general — that you could bring home, and that’s all due to small obstacle avoidance. On top of room-to-room smart mapping, any j series Roomba steers clear of things like phone chargers, pet waste, and socks.
